+\&\fBXPATemplate: Access Point Names and Templates\fR
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+\&\s-1XPA\s0 access points are composed of two parts: a general class and a
+specific name. Both parts accept template characters so that you
+can send/retrieve data to/from multiple servers at one time.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+When \s-1XPA\s0 servers call
+\&\fIXPANew()\fR,
+or
+\&\fIXPACmdNew()\fR
+to define \s-1XPA\s0 access points, they specify a string identifier composed of a
+class and a name. When clients communicate with \s-1XPA\s0 access points,
+they specify which access points to communicate with using
+an identifier of the form:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& class:name
+.Ve
+.PP
+All registered \s-1XPA\s0 access points that match the specified identifier
+will be available for communication (subject to access control rules,
+etc.)
+.PP
+As of \s-1XPA\s0 2.1.5, the length of both the class and name designations are
+limited to 1024 characters.
+.PP
+The \s-1XPA\s0 class:name identifier actually is a template: it accepts wild
+cards in its syntax, so a single specifier can match more than one \s-1XPA\s0
+access point. (Note that the class is optional and defaults to \*(L"*\*(R".)
+The allowed syntax for clients to specify the class:name template is
+of the form shown below. (Note that \*(L"*\*(R" is used to denote a generic
+wild card, but other wild cards characters are supported, as described
+below).
+.PP
+.Vb 7
+\& template explanation
+\& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\& class:name exact match of class and name
+\& name match any class with this name
+\& *:name match any class with this name
+\& class:* match any name of this class
+\& *:* match any access point
+.Ve
+.PP
+In general, the following wild-cards can be applied to class and name:
+.PP
+.Vb 5
+\& wildcard explanation
+\& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\& ? match any character, but there must be one
+\& * match anything, or nothing
+\& [...] match an inclusive set
+.Ve
+.PP
+Although the class:name template normally is used to refer to \s-1XPA\s0
+access points, these also can be specified using their individual
+socket identifiers. For inet sockets, the socket identifier is
+\&\fBip:port\fR, where ip can be the DNS-registered name,
+the \s-1ASCII\s0 \s-1IP\s0 number (e.g. 123.45.67.890) or the hex \s-1IP\s0 number
+(e.g. 838f3a60). For unix sockets, the identifier is the socket file
+name. These socket identifiers are displayed as the fourth argument
+in the xpans display of registered access points. For example,
+consider the ds9 program started using inet sockets. The xpans name
+server will register something like this:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& csh> xpaget xpans
+\& DS9 ds9 gs saord.harvard.edu:3236 eric
+.Ve
+.PP
+You can access ds9 using ip:3236 in any of the three forms:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& csh> xpaget saord:3236 file
+\& /home/eric/data/snr.ev
+\&
+\& csh> xpaget 123.45.67.890:3236 file
+\& /home/eric/data/snr.ev
+\&
+\& csh> xpaget 838f3a60:3236 file
+\& /home/eric/data/snr.ev
+.Ve
+.PP
+In the case of unix sockets, the socket identifier is a file:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& csh> xpaget xpans
+\& DS9 ds9 gs /tmp/.xpa/DS9_ds9.2631 eric
+\&
+\& csh> xpaget /tmp/.xpa/DS9_ds9.2631 file
+\& /home/eric/data/snr.ev
+.Ve
+.PP
+This feature can be useful in distinguishing between multiple
+instances of a program that all have the same class:name designation.
